On the long move home from L.A. back in 1990, my Dad, who flew out to accompany me on the drive back, became intimately acquainted with Vincent, the orange cat I'd adopted while there (that Dad had just met). Every night in the hotel, Vincent insisted on keeping my Dad's bald head warm. Dad was the only person upon whose head Vincent would sleep. They're both gone now--I wonder if Vince is keeping Dad's head warm in Heaven. Anyway, seeing the orange cat on your head reminded me of that.

When I was young I had a cat named Sam who would always sleep on my pillow at night. My aunt came over for the holidays and she got my bed while I was on the couch. Both Sam and my aunt got a surprise that night. xD

The bedroom, for my cat is out of bounds when the lights go out. Last week my parents came to visit and so I slept in the living room with my cat as they had my bedroom. When I was sleeping, or trying to sleep, little cat was kneading my head and sleeping right up at my neck. It was cute and so now I can see how this cartoon is so true!

Hey Jasmine, been reading Cat vs Human for some time now, and every time you post a new story, I can't say anything but "so true..." ! Having three kitties at home, our lives are just perfectly depicted in each and every sketch you post here.You made my day. Again. Thanks so much !

haha, so true.Mine's no so typical, i guess. She likes to get under the sheets and cuddle with my feet. Only if she can't get under the sheets will she curl up on my crotch (if I'm on my back) or behind my knees( if I'm on my side).Like one of the comments said, my cat bites my toes and heel too. It's an aqcuired taste, i guess, 'cus I enjoy it now.

Our old cat Icarus would always sleep on my husband's chest. It was so cute. Our new kitten Athena doesn't sleep on either of us, but she likes to get under the covers and sleep behind my knees or in my arms.

Its so weird, cause Ive heard that cats do this. But my two cats, does not like to sleep on my head. Tiny cat who sleeps in my bed, lays exactly next to my head (I have a pillow for her there) or between my legs. Big cat prefers lo sleep in bushes outside, and always comes in with bugs and twigs in his hair, cause he has long fur, so I have to brush his hair every day.

when i was pregnant my cat ALWAYS slept on my head! sometimes i would wake up and she was sleeping on the whole pillow and i had none haha. but before, and after pregnancy, she never did this. i think she knew she couldnt lay on my tummy anymore

So true!! I'm glad my cats aren't the only ones. I actually upgraded to a queen mattress last year, thinking the cats would have more space to sleep and they STILL sleep on my head and face!! It's ok, I wouldn't have it any other way.

All of the cats I have had and none have been head sleepers. Under cover sleepers, crotch sleepers, between the legs sleepers and behind the knees but never the head. However until this last cat I slept with my head buried under pillows--

Yasmine, the little statement advocating against declawing, docking, defanging et al, has gone from the bottom of the page :(

First time I landed on your site, Gerry our scruffy lad rolled on the keyboard and the page zoomed down to the bottom where the statement was. I was cheered to see you not only making exquisitely observed and very funny cartoons, but also advocating for animals this way. Any chance the statement could go back? Little things like that do make a difference and one day those awful, crippling mutilations will be banned everywhere if we keep that message going :)

My cat likes to lie her head on the side of pillows, or when she's with my parents, she sleeps between both their pillows XD but she can't stay on our rooms because she's TOO hyper, she will start making noise whenever she wants to go out, and then to get back in again. Too much of a crazy kitty :V but she likes monopolizing all the couches, oh~

The first night with my first cat was slightly scary... I woke up with her sleeping on my neck. When I tried to move her, the claws came out. I now know, two years later, that she was just stretching and telling me she's the boss. She hasn't slept on my neck since, but she's still the boss. Nafsika - my sympathies to you, I can't imagine your loss :(

My orange cat, Kyo, does that to my husband sometimes when he was a kitten - either on his head or his neck. But these days, he would curl up between us for snuggles and snoozing.

Yuki, on the other hand, would sleep on my side at the foot of the bed because I'm the shortest of the two of us. He is our daily alarm clock as he would normally wake hubby up for either attention or breakfast*.
